A new agreement will provide annual wage increases retroactive to the contract’s expiration for the Huntington Aides, Monitors and Assistants.
After an extensive negotiating process and three efforts by a NY State arbitrator to bring closure to a contract agreement, UPSEU filed for fact-finding. After the appointment of a fact finder and as the hearing was approaching, an agreement was reached. Monitors will receive an additional personal day under the agreement. Consistent with other district units, new hires will pay 20% toward individual coverage.
UPSEU President Kevin E. Boyle, Jr. commended Donna Blair for her leadership throughout the process and as well the excellent work of Unit Executive Board members Nancy Lavery, Marilyn Landman and Barbara Waller during this frustrating process.
Barbara and Marilyn are retiring and President Boyle commended their good work at the ratification meeting. Congratulations Barbara and Marilyn on your retirement and thanks for your great work on behalf of the unit.
